Possibly the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to anyone, ever... cheer me up with your shame ;)

[SinkGirl]

This happened yesterday and I haven’t told anyone because I am mortified, but it’s getting to the point where it’s slightly amusing so I thought I’d share my shame with you all.

So my son is obsessed with bubbles. And being the obsessive person I am, I started researching how to make the best, giant bubbles. I’ve been using premade solution which is insanely pricey and you get through it quick. So I started researching how to make the best giant bubble mix.

Being a geek I was quite fascinated reading about the science and what works best. Turns out that adding lubricant is one of the best ways to make excellent giant bubble mix.

Not just any old lube, but J-Lube - an American powdered lubricant often used by vets, but which also has a reputation as the best thing for certain niche acts, apparently.

I tracked down a small quantity on eBay and placed an order, ignoring the listing’s title.

Yesterday our health visitor and a paediatric nurse case round to talk about the twins. I was showing them a video on my phone of the boys when this notification popped up.

I know they both saw it but they very politely said nothing. I am wondering which word caught their eye first - gay, anal, fetish or fisting?

I’ve been embarassed many times in my life but this definitely wins. I really wanted to tell “it’s just for bubbles!” But I think that may have made matters worse.

How do I ever face these women again?

Please tell me your shameful stories so I can feel better about mine

Oh god OP time to enter the witness protection programme new city at an absolute minimum, perhaps on Mars

😂😂😂😂

Ye Gads that's hilarious!

Erm, nope, not got one that reaches the dizzying heights of yours 😂

Oh OP this made me laugh!!

Mine is less funny but very similar and very embarrassing....ibhave fortnightly CBT sessions over the phone, I put these in my work diary (as it is during work hours) but as a private appointment so no one else in our organisation can see it (all our diaries are accessible). I was WFH on Monday but on a work Skype call with approximate 400 people in my organisation, and I had to do a quick presentation so I shared my screen with the attendees and just as it was finishing, and appointment reminder popped up right in the centre of the screen telling all 400-odd colleagues that my Cognitive Behavioural Therapy was about to start in 15 mins

Oh you’re all useless. I was perhaps expecting a bit much that someone may be able to top this though.

I promise it’s for bubble, and that the bamboo poles, cotton yarn, split rings, fishing swivels and fairy liquid I’ve also ordered are not also part of a crazy fetish 😂

Sounds like you're protesting too much OP!

That is epic. Every word just makes it worse and worse

They probably don’t even care.

Oh OP I really needed that laugh today, thank-you I'm trying to think of something more embarrassing but that eBay alert tops everything. 😂

We just use washing up liquid and water.

For bubbles.

This is brilliant

@lalallama mmmhmmmmm we believe you

Erm... water, a squirt of fairy liquid and a dollop of glycerine is the usual recipe for home made giant bubbles.

You’re definitely protesting way too much

😂 oh dear OP. Nope, got nothing to top that one sorry.

Not for giant bubbles it isn’t (unless you want crappy bubbles)

Just in case anyone wants to make some giant lube bubbles themselves

soapbubble.fandom.com/wiki/Recipes_EGoo

Nope, a squirt of mild green fairy liquid and glycerine and you can get huge bubbles

I add sugar to the bubbles and it really helps.

Not as good as this, hence my research! Glycerine doesn’t have the same properties as PEO (guar gum is another option)

What’s really funny is that if you look up j lube on Amazon and then look at the “customers also viewed” items, its almost all fetish gear plus a few random giant bubble tools

When worlds collide 😂

thank you for my bedtime giggle (I have to be up at sparrowfart in the morning...)

Oh, OP, that is awful!

I had a pretty terrible one just today...

I was on an online call for work – a day-long meeting with 8 of the team and an external facilitator. I had a gynae appointment scheduled for the afternoon, so I let everyone know I'd have to drop off for 30 mins at some point, stayed on the call from my phone as I drove to the appointment, and as I waited in the waiting room of the hospital.

The assistant called my name, I hit 'close' on the work call, put my phone in my bag, and went into my appointment.

You guessed it.

Hit 'close', but the call app didn't actually close.

8 colleagues and a facilitator heard a (hopefully muffled) interaction with my gynae from inside my bag, where she let me know that my smear results came back negative but she had noted an imbalance in my VAGINAL FLORA.

Just as she said that I heard my phone buzzing wildly, so I opened my bag to silence it and saw that I hadn't left the call properly. The buzzing was a colleague wildly ringing me to let me know!

Not on the same scale as your anal fisting bubble mix, but still pretty awful!

😂

Seriously, I think ^SinkGirl* knows a thing or two more about quality bubbles than y'all. 🤣🤣

ha ha very funny. fwiw fisting caught my eye first

If it makes you feel any better, I walked in a board meeting recently (all my bosses) with my skirt tucked into my knickers. I tried to brazen it out but you know ....

Oh no lady! No one wants to share details of their flora
